Whether you're spending summer at home or in warmer climes, insect repellent is important for preventing bites and stings. Don't let children apply repellent themselves. You don't want them putting their fingers in their mouths or rubbing their eyes with insect repellent on their hands. Mosquitos may bite through some clothing so if you're in a high-risk area, spray clothes with 100% DEET (or, if the clothing is synthetic, with a non-DEET repellent). There are four active ingredients that are scientifically proven to repel mosquitos and three of these are synthetic, or chemical based: DEET, IR3535 and Icaridin.
Moskito Guard - Your first line of defence against mosquitoes
It can be used on children over three years old, and is produced when oil of lemon eucalyptus or OLE is distilled. Although it is a byproduct, the leftover product is far more effective at repelling mosquitoes than the oil itself. They are 3 different names for the same compound, Hydroxyethyl isobutyl piperidine carboxylate. Picaridin, Saltidin and Icaridin are simply trade names, which one is on the product label will depend on which company manufactured it. Is Moskito Guard safe to be carried in plane hand luggage? Again, like sunscreen, don't just rely on repellent to protect you. Cover up with clothing, especially if you're prone to bites, as this acts as an additional barrier.script>
